Anyone have a pic of the current Easy drink package inclusions?

[flahagan]

Going on a 25-nt TA in May and trying to decide whether to get the Easy package or just pay as I go.  I mainly drink wine with dinner and possibly a cosmo now and then.  I also like a bloody Mary on occasion.  I would love to see what the Easy inclusions are.  I've seen some that say cosmos and Bloody Marys are included and another that doesn't show either of them.  Thanks in advance.

Someone sailing on the Grandiosa a few weeks ago graciously posted bar menus for me when my husband and I were deciding which drink package to get.  She shared this picture from one of the bar menus, but from what I could tell they were the same at all the bars.

There is a chart on the MSC website: Drink Package Comparison

[jame_g]

The chart doesn't identify which brand is the brand they use for well drinks, and it could vary by itinerary or ship. Even by bar on the ship from what we saw. But it seemed they generally used one of the lower level brands listed on the chart, although this may not always be the case. So for example, Seagrams 7 was the well whiskey, Smirnoff was the well vodka, Bacardi was the well rum, Gordons was the well gin, and Jose was the well tequila. Again, what you see offered may differ. The bartender wouldn't even tell us what the well brand was, just what our level of drink package qualified for. Which made me think it can change depending on what they have available. (We had Easy Plus initially and then got upgraded to Premium halfway through). Some of the menus on board may list specific drinks included by package, and those seemed to frequently list the brand used for the drink.

The big question is if you will accept MSCs House wines. And if you get a good promo for the easy package. If not I predict you will not be happy. On the other hand there should be a lot of sea days...

did all drinks go up $1 with this latest price increase?
